Re: How fit are you?
The day of the blackout, I had my very last exam at university before graduation. It was obviously cancelled, but I drove down anyway, just in case it wasn't .... tried calling to find out ahead of time but I got no answer.
For me 9/11 was more of a test as to how fit we really were. All of downtowon Toronto (financial district) was evacuated with rumours that a plane was on route to Toronto and it was absolute chaos outside. Couldn't find a cab anywhere. Those we could find were charging 10x the normal amount of money. So we walked from Front Street down to Ontario Place where we finally caught a cab. It was hard on the feet since we were in heels, and my legs were sore the next day cause at that time, I just wasn't as fit as I am now .... not that I am *that *fit now or anything.
Now, I go to the gym regularly and do various cardio classes. My strength and metabolism is increasing, slowly, but increasing nonetheless. I think I would be able to handle more in any similar situation as the black out or 9/11 day.
